"Awesome agent!! We were new to the area and felt clueless. We were also quite picky and his patience carried us through looking at tons of homes. He is very good at stearing you clear of problem properties and showing you properties he thinks are good. He is extremely ethical and seems to be friends with all of the local agents who appear to have a lot of respect for him. He NEVER pressured us into making decisions, but new when to encourage us to act fast. This is a tricky market right now and he was great at going with the flow. When we go to sell our house, we will definitely use him as our listing agent."

Our first dealings with Steve was 12 years ago in selling a lot through him. Thereafter we have sold and purchased through Steve and his group 3 separate transactions totaling 12 million dollars. His knowledge of the market place and values is unparalleled dating back over 30 years. Equally as important is his straight forward and honest approach coupled with knowledge add significant value throughout the process. Please realize we think there is no one better and we would highly recommend Steve and his staff !
